Movie Preview: Jennifer Lopez in The Back-up Plan

Jennifer Lopez tried to get back into serious mode with recent movies like Bordertown and El Cantante, but after taking some time off for motherhood, she's returned to her tried and true romantic comedies. Here's your first look at The Back-up Plan, where Lopez stars as Zoe, a 30-something woman who turns to artificial insemination when she can't find "the one" but also refuses to ignore her biological clock any longer. Of course, right after she makes the decision, her Prince Charming shows up in the form of scruffy-dreamy Alex O'Loughlin.

As a happily married adult with children I think I am tired of or have completely outgrown the juvenile nature of rom coms. You've seen one you have literally seen them all. Especially all of Jennifer Aniston's rom coms.. which the Baster will be just about this same storyline. They are groan and cringe worthy. Add the Bounty to this list too. We need more 500 Days of Summer (or more As Good As it Gets) and less of this. Are there any actual writers left in Hollywood?

Also...how can you defend the use of the "R" word? That is highly offensive. It shows she isn't just talking about the merits of the film or its trailer of which she only saw bits and pieces anyway.

I didn't say she couldn't state it but what good does it to spew her critcisms in that manner? She does sound bitter.
And I am calm, I just stated my opinion too and much more rational than "tinkerbell" and I was honest too.

#10 -- you need to calm down, she was just stating her opinion. everyone has one.

I actually think it's a little unconventional...it doesn't end when they get together and she isn't immediately smitten with him just happy about having gotten her sperm. So it has that. I like Jenny in anything really!
I hope it does well :)

Tinkerbell (#7) is pathetic...are you a film critic? Just state your dislike in a better way. You sound bitter and apathetic about life and film. Get over yourself.

Looks so good ! i'm actualy excited about this movie and i hadn't heard about it before.

Oh retarded romcom cliche's, let me count the ways including obligatory SNL funny lady as not-quite-as-hot-but-slightly-more-hilarious as best friend (see Serendipity as well). Also, you know a movie is in trouble when instead of relying on the charisma of its cast and wit of its script they insert a raunchy dog gag. In conclusion: UGH.
